| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Birth weight is known to affect not only perinatal health or subsequent growth/development but also morbidity in later life. Especially low birth weight (LBW) is now recognized as an established risk for future metabolic abnormalities, including obesity and diabetes. Although it is well known that hyperglycemia is an important risk factor for macrosomia, whether maternal glucose levels are associated with incident neonatal LBW is unknown. We therefore examined the associations between maternal glycemia within normal glucose tolerance and the risk of LBW infants in Japanese mothers. In addition, we examined the relative contributions of maternal glycemia and BMI to LBW.
In this study, a low 1-h postload glucose level but within normal range and low maternal BMI alone, as well as in combination, were independently associated with an increased risk of incident LBW independent of other known risk factors. Their combination had a greater impact than either value alone.
